PORT ORCHARD — A 35-year-old man was in critical condition on Friday after being shot by a Pierce County Sheriff's deputy following a car chase Thursday night that crossed into Kitsap County via backroads and ended in Port Orchard.

The chase ended around 10:30 p.m. at Olney Road Southeast near Beach Drive, about 20 miles from where it started.

Before the shooting, the 1996 Acura Integra leading the chase had its tires flattened by spike strips deployed by Port Orchard Police, ultimately bringing the car to a stop, according to a statement from the Bremerton Police Department. The department is leading a multi-agency investigation of the shooting.

Bremerton Police Chief Steve Strachan said the man has several residences listed in records, but he may be from Gig Harbor. Investigators later learned the driver was wanted on two warrants.

The deputy who shot the driver has been placed on administrative leave pending the investigation. Information on his years of service has not been released.

The chase started at 10:06 p.m. when a Pierce County deputy saw the Acura speeding in excess of 80 mph on the 5500 block of Key Peninsula Highway North, north of Lakebay, according to a statement from the Pierce County Sheriff's Office. The car had an expired registration.

Deputies attempted to slow the suspect’s vehicle with a tire deflation device near the intersection of Highway 302, but the suspect swerved around them. The Acura ran through stop lights and made several turns through the area of Creviston Drive Northwest before heading northbound on 118th Avenue Northwest/Glenwood Road Southwest into Kitsap County, according to the statement.

The Acura never got onto Highway 16, but it crossed the highway onto Sedgwick Road and eventually came to a stop in the Retsil area, where the shooting took place.

Investigators later determined the suspect had a state Department of Corrections warrant for escape from community custody, meaning he had failed to keep in contact with officers supervising him following his release from prison. The underlying conviction was for second-degree unlawful possession of a firearm. In addition to that warrant, he had a felony warrant for drug possession, the Pierce County Sheriff's Office statement said. Investigators also determined the black Acura used in the chase had switched license plates.

The Pierce County deputy fired "several" shots into the vehicle, according to the Bremerton Police statement.

The man was struck and was taken to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle with serious injuries. A 23-year-old woman who was with the man in the car was taken to Harrison Medical Center. Strachan said the woman was having a seizure when she was contacted by officers. She was not struck by gunfire.

No officers were injured.

The man was in critical condition early Friday, a representative from Harborview confirmed.

Olney Road was closed for several hours but reopened at around 6 a.m. Friday morning.

The Kitsap County Incident Response Team — made up of five area law enforcement agencies and the Washington State Patrol — is investigating. A Kitsap County Sheriff's deputy was involved in the pursuit, so Bremerton police will take the lead in the investigation, according to the statement.
